a fun new horror of being alive in 2025 is that if you make a memorial post tagging a friend who has passed away, dozens of AI malware sites will scrape your friend's social media pages to make fake AI obituaries for them, because AI slop is now inescapable even in death

Or to put it another way - Victoria is now a more affordable place to buy a home. Points out that changes to tax have made property more affordable in Victoria... and paints that as terrible. Cripes the way housing prices are reported is truly broken

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Ironically, if there's one thing DOGE has done it's to make me think there is much less fraud and waste in the (non-DOD) government than I thought. If after months of practically unlimited access all they're able to find is research and grants that they disagree with, there must not be much

Ian Fleming's original James Bond novels haven't aged well. For example, Moonraker - published almost exactly 70 years ago in April 1955 - features a villain who's a super-rich industrialist and rocket-maker seeking to cause chaos because he's a secret Nazi. Such a silly idea!

This is what revisionist history looks like, in real time. And this also is why it might appear that archaeologists and historians have to dig deep to discover the existence of powerful women and marginalized groups -- because their legacies are so often erased.
